CURRENT MISSION

World Traveller

ABOUT ME

Grew up in a small down of 2,300 - Beautiful place to grow-up... Moved from there to Helsinki and then back to California. When to Austin, Texas and ended up staying 28 years. Finally back in Northern California upon retiring early to be closer to family.

Been around the world more times than I can count and plan to keep going as long as I'm able.

I’m currently on a 150 day, 15 countries, around the world retirement adventure.

If it matters, I’m gay.
